It developed an leak and then for whatever reason sealed itself. Replace the oil pressure sending unit.
Worn threads will cause this. Wrap your the threads on your oil pressure sending unit / switch with teflon tape, replace and tighten securely.
The purpose of a leak detection pump pressure switch is to immediately alter the system to pressure drop. These are most commonly associated with seal or valve failure.

The leak detection pump pressure switch is located next to the service vacuum supply. It will be connected to the LDP filter and below the EVAP canister.
yes they do go bad and leak usually when the plug that plugs in to it is removed they leak from the electrical connectors when worn
No. Coolant should not leak from the oil sending unit. the unit's purpose is to send a pressure reading to a guage or, in case of a warning light, turn it on in the event of an unsafe drop in oil pressure. no anti-freeze coolant should come from this unit. if there is, you are most likely looking at the temperature switch or sending unit and not the oil sending unit. however.. if there is a mixture of coolant and oil comming from it that has a milky look to it then you have coolant seeping into your oil which indicates a blown head gasket, cracked or warped head, or a cracked block.
trying rack down a leak
Yes, oil can leak through the switch.
